That's a rubber cover over the hard plastic fuel line. It's fine just the way it is.
Here's a repair kit.
Good to know!

The plastic line is swedged onto the fitting on the sender. You're supposed to disconnect the fitting at the other end of the plastic hose and remove it with the sender.
Later cars just used rubber hose and clamps.
I noticed that the in-line pump's sprouted a bit of a leak, so I guess that's next on the agenda.
Edit: If we're looking at the tray with the in-line pump & accumulator, from the back to the front, is the accumulator the little tube thing that sits on the right? Because it's the one on the "passenger" (right) side that's leaking.
Does the accumulator play any role in how a B21FT idles? I know for a fact this is toast because it leaks when the car runs and it would certainly explain why the fuel splatters on the right rear corner. The filler neck gasket looks tight and I doubt it's a bad cap.
I've had this low profile version for years. Works fine.Got sick & tired of trying to save the jack and decided to return it. As I was getting into the car, I spotted a deal for the low-profile version of the 3-ton jack for only a few bucks more. Let's hope my luck holds out.
You don't seem to have a lot of experience with fixing cars, but you have a sane approach and I feel you're going to fix this thing just fine.
Just a side note: That arc welder you bought on the past page...If you plan on fixing that rust spot with it - it's not likely to work. Arc's are great for metal plates, but they're going to burn through sheetmetal and just leave your hole bigger and you frustrated. You need a MIG for that sort of thing.
It turns out the front cam seal on his car wore a groove in the cam, so when I replaced it with a new one it still leaked because at the seal point the cam OD wasn't to spec with the ring seal ID. Fortunately, someone mentioned to me you don't have to seat the front cam seal all the way, and you can translate it a mm or 2 forward so it isn't riding in the groove, but honestly I'd just get a new cam at that point.
Just my $0.02
